.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBredrawwin()\fR and \fBwredrawln()\fR functions force portions of a
window to be redrawn to the terminal when the next refresh operation is
performed.
.sp
.LP
The \fBredrawwin()\fR function forces the entire window \fIwin\fR to be
redrawn, while the \fBwredrawln()\fR function forces only \fInum_lines\fR lines
starting with \fIbeg_line\fR to be redrawn. Normally, refresh operations use
optimization methods to reduce the actual amount of the screen to redraw based
on the current screen contents.   These functions tell the refresh operations
not to attempt any optimization  when redrawing the indicated areas.
.sp
.LP
These functions are useful when the data that exists on the screen is believed
to be corrupt and for applications such as screen editors that redraw portions
of the screen.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
On success, these functions return \fBOK\fR. Otherwise, they return \fBERR\fR.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
None.
